- Virtual planning and dimensioning of energy-efficient climate control solutions
- Validation of mounting layouts.
Thermal Design Integration makes available functionalities, extended product data, sets of rules and software-based decision-making tools to support the planner and to validate the planning results:
- Determination of the total power dissipation of all the devices
- Visualization of the power dissipation density in order to avoid hot spots
- Determination of the power dissipation layout for optimal configuration of the components in the enclosure
- Interface to Rittal Therm for designing and dimensioning the climate control component
- Optional: Utilization of the extended Rittal parts data for climate control solutions via the EPLAN Data Portal
- Optional: Representation of the optimal air-conditioned area per climate control component in which the components are to be laid out in the enclosure
- Optional: Airflow-specific reserved areas per climate control component for optimizing the cooling air circulation and for protecting the components against overheating or undercooling
- Optional: Airflow directions of climate control components.
Through the combination of these planning and decision-making tools the following aims are achieved:
- Simple planning and energy-efficient thermal design of climate control solution
- Taking into account of the rules for correct mounting layout of the components
- Norm-compliant project planning to IEC 61439 "Ensuring of fault-free operation" of machines and plants.
